The tirautl sTtnud and Kacc Track
Hi-ins Rapidly Complt tl.
During the past few days there has
been great changes going on at Alumni
jaik. south of the ility. and when all
the Imurovements fortemplatfd are
ompleted, we Khali have something
which the cltv may be proud of.
At present a grand stand and a race
trak are being uil(. The stand,
whkh will lwld 300 people, is being
erected by Contractor Robinson, and
he is getting the work done rapidly.
It was started last Wednesday and the
roof has been nut n. It must be fin
ished by Memorial Day. but Mr. Rob
inson says he will have It finished be
fore that.
1-lie race tiiek. which will be a quar
ter of a mile in circumference. Is oelng
built by Contractor Atkinson. He has
fourteen men at work and they are
making things hustle. The sod Is Iw
Ing taken up. and the gioud It-veled.
A coating of red ashes will be put upon
this and will make a hard and durable
track.
The base ball diamond has been
turned somewhat toward the east, giv
ing more room and preventing long
riles from going over the fence.
The directors of the park are work
ing hard to bring It Into prominence
and they will undoubtedly succeed this
summer. It Is already a favorite place
for amateur teams to battle, and the
additional Improvements will make it
a place where other sports can be in
dulged In.
SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
Am IntercHtiut: Programme Prepared
Tor Wednesday.
The members of the High School
foot ball team have prepared an at
tractive programme for their enter
tainment on Wednesday evening, and
one which Is worth a great deal more
than the small price which will be
charged for admission.
The nroceeds of the entertainment
will go toward liquidating a small
debt which the team had at the end
of the season, and the entertainment
should be well patronised. The young
men who compose the team have
brought many victories to the city and
the least the public can do Is to turn
ou on Wednesday evening. The pro
gramme Is as follows: Piano duet,
Misses Corbett and Daley; flute solo.
Joseph Tlore: vocal solo, Mrs. Leonard;
baratone solo. Instrumental, Prank
Hoemmelmeyer; recitation, Miss Palsy
Jones; cornet solo, Miss Timlin; violin
solo, Stephen Klenko; bass solo,
Maurice Church; fluto solo, Joseph
Tlore; accompanist, Benjamin L.
Singer.
SUBSCRIPTIONS COMING IN.
Two Hundred and Twenty-five Dol
Inrs Already Subscribed.
The canvassers who have been out
among the merchants seeking subscrip
tions for the Fourth of July celebration
have been working hard and ns a re
sult have already secured two hundred
and twenty-five dollnrs for the purpose.
The committee In charge feel much en
couraged by the manner In which they
have been met by the merchants and by
the little trouble they have experienced
In getting subscriptions, and feel them
selves able to hlfctle things along now.
The celebration this year will be on
a grander scale than anything of the
kind witnessed In this city, and the
public should take some pride In the
the matter and see that it is one which
will do credit to the town. A success
fill celebra-lon means much to us for
it will attract many people to this
place, and those who subscribe will
probably realize ten times as mucn our
ing the day.

In her bright halcyon days the vale
of Olyicpla never could have presented
the appearance which ror a rew nours
on Saturday afternoon completely
changed the order of the gMi.g of South
Montrose. Montrose proper was mere,
Dlmock, Auburn, Elk Lake, Falrdale
and Rush were represented. Beauty
personified In the fair sex was more
of an attraction than the real cause
of pretty South Montrose's social up
heaval, the balloon ascension by
George MeCoye. Oh! but It was a glor
ious wait of three hours. At two
o'clock two large poles were hoisted
and the balloon raised. This proceed
ing occupied one hour and ten minutes.
Sam Smith tlwn went for water. At
2.15 a fire was built and the gods were
not generous. About forty farm hinds
and a few others held the balloon.
Then it was discovered that kerosene
wos needed to inflate the Baker
balloon. At 3.35 Snm Smith went for
kerosene. It was used to enllv-n a fire
made of barrel! staves. At 3.18 the
staves gave out. Sam Smith went for
barrels. In tlu excitement some one
built up the fire and It wos too hot for
Baker who was inside with a liberal
supply of Land grenades, he burrowed
a begrimed fpce out of the lower folds
of canvps and sal.1 In a deep basri voice,
"put water on the rre. Some one
seized a pull of kerosene thinking It
wa3 water and on the fire It went. The
result can easily be liraglncl and if the
forty farmers and others had not exer
cised a double quick shift with the
balloon It would now be a sinjad piece
of canvas. Finally, however, at 4.1S
MeCoye took off his trousers and the
girls looked the other way, but lne
it butterfly emerging from Its chrysalis
MeCoye appeared clad In black tights,
a maroon shirt, amulets of purple and
trunks of emerald nnd pink.
A young lady told me the coloring
wus Incongruous but MeCoye was

THOUSANDS BOOMED TO DEATH
Frightful SinttgHtcr of Iliitnun Life
Annually in Anicricn.
Andrew D. White, formerly president
of Cornell university, made an add -ess
In New York before the Patrla club on
"The Problem of Hlch Crime In the
United States." He quoted statistics
to show that in no land Is tho riijat to
live tramped upon by a privileged class
of criminals as in America, and that
(.rime increases In proportion more
thnn the population.
The homicides In 1SS9 In this country
numbered 3,507. In 1?95 they numbered
10.500. The executions In these same
years averaged, respectively, one in
45 convictions and one In seventy
four convictions. He said if the mur
derers for ihe last six years were In
prison there would be 40.000 of them.
The eleventh census shows that there
are but 7,251 in prison. Mr. White bit
terly denounced the sympatny ex
pressed for criminals, a strtKinf ex
ample of which was furnished In the
"Bat" Shea case, where 3,000 ptople fol
lowed tho body to tho frrave and JG00
was spout In floral orterlngs. More
than 2:;,0l'0 people signed the petition to
the governor for a pardon, notwith
standing that numerous witness? testi
fied that they saw Shea kill Hubert
Ross. Mr. White said:
"I unnouiiee to you that there are
doomed to death In the I'ultsd States,
In the year which begins this day, over
lU.OOH persons, win will be exec I ted
murderously, ciuiily, without oppor
tunity to take leave of tho:;e they love
without opportunity to make provision
for those depending upon them, und all
of this multitude of persons, wiio have
committed no crime, will be put to
death without the slightest reijurd lor
the fearful distress and sorrow, ami. In
many eases, beggary, of their fnnlUes.
Fully two-thirds of these murders will
be due to this eu.uy-cl.ig, muudlm senti
ment in the community at large 'nis
called mi:ivy, but reully most fearful
cruelty."
Tho speaker argued against tuiprljon
inent for llf. as punishment for mur
ders, pointing out the uveragu length of
iiMprlomnent for even the worst crimi
nals Is only t-n years. He spoke at
some leiigt'i a Lois I o rveridoii of Uyal
methods to bring ubout appeals, pew
trial, and pardons, Riving examples of
horrible crimes of recent dite where
the murderer was acquitted. William
C. UrecklnrldKc, who recently left con
gress, lie suld, wus about to be returned,
because he- had succeeded In having
twenty murderers acquitted, thereby
becoming popular In bis state.
The Increase of crime was ascribed
largely to the "careless, culpable and
crlmlncl exercise of pardons by the
governors of the various Ktntes. He
denounced particularly ex-Governor
Taylor, of Tennessee, ,wnn In the four
years of office ended In 1S02 pardoned
801 convict's, many of them murderers,
and ex.-Governor David B. Hill, of New
York. Ho showed that Governor Hill
pardoned fifteen criminals In his iRst
month of office, two of whom were mur
derers, serving life terms. He said
that It was a noticeable fact that, while
criminal lawyers ore old and skilled
men, tho district attorneys are youns
and Inexperienced, as u rule.

do. Musht have so'thln' elsh. 'S won't
do."
The clerk looked at him quItzlcaUy
and asked what he wanted. . The gurnt
General
Debility.
That complete collapse of the
entire system, when the organs
improperly perform their func
tions, and as a natural result a
cessation of nourishment to the
body ensues, a continual loss of
flesh is experienced, ar.d death
from starvation is the end. This
trouble is ia ccrv instance evert
ed by the use of that greatest
concentrated food produc".
Retained by the weakest stomach,
readily assimilated, new flesh and
nerve tissue is created, the blood
is enrkhed, the vital organs re
sume tlieir natural functions and
a return to health is the result.
In this connection, Dr. M. W.
Van Denburg of l'ort Kdward,
N. Y., says, " I have used Iovi
nine in ctscs of extreme debility
where no other food would be
tolerated and with very satis
factory results." Physicians
everywhere tell the same story.
replied, with an air of mystery, such as
Is attributed to Sherlock Holmes:
"Musht have somethln' else. Civ'
me 111 or Sua, or something like zat."
The clerk took an Inventory of stock
and saw that 111 was vacant, and he
assigned his mysterious visitor to that
room. This satlstled the man of mys
tery, and he 'started off In an uncertain
manner to look for the bar. He found
It, and spent most of his day there.
Late that night, when the clerk was
retiring, he saw the bibulous gueat, who
roomed In the same hall with him, go
ing to his room. He stopped and
welched the manner In which the guest
from the rural districts was maklrg
hts way, end wondered vaguely why he
had asked for a room with a particular
number. He heard the man muttering
under his breath as hs wandered non
chalantly from one side of the hall to
the other, peering at tho numbers on
the door. The inebriate was mutter
ing: "Shiicty-threo. Never heard of such
a thing. Won' do. Sixty-three, shlxty
slx. Must have 'em right. Know
whnre'm now."
Finally, he located his room, and he
walked up to it on one side and mut
tered In a half-satisfied way:
"Musht be it. K'oll right."
Suddenly a great licrht broke upon the
wondering clerk, ar.d he ejaculated:
"Grent Scott! Sams comics: and go
ing. Thnt fellow Is a Napoleon. No
wonder he wanted a room thnt read the
same bacVcwnrd and forward. I won
der what room he got Into by mistake
that made him change his code."
